Well, if there are, I haven't found 'em. The ones for the LX and MX don't fit the ME Super and some of the other Pentax bodies I've tried them on very well (I believe the "Program" bodies I tried had the problem, too), and the ones I use for the Leica, which fit the ME Super, don't fit the LX and MX.
As for the price ... if you can find one at a better price, let me know. They are out there, but finding them and getting then into the country can be a bit of a hassle and quite time consuming. Some people have neither the time, the temperament, nor the resources to track down little bits and pieces like this - and some find them quite valuable. The LX as many little bits and pieces that are getting hard to find. Grips are getting scarce and expensive. Have you looked for the strap attachments recently, or seen what prices they command. Heck, I believe it was Bob Sullivan who bought an entire LX on eBay just to get a set of attachments, and then turned around and resold the camera. That's a lot of time and expense just to obtain a little item like that. Why don't you share with us where you got the $3.00 buttons, and then check them to see which cameras they properly fit, how well they're made, etc. What you may not realize is that the button, in order to work properly on an LX with the shutter lock collar, has to be of a size to fit within the collar upon depressing the release, otherwise it will hit the collar and prevent release of the shutter, and, if the button has too large of a diameter, by only a millimeter or so, it will hit the shutter speed dial on the LX and hang up, and, if large enough, will obscure part of the shutter speed dial on both cameras as well as making it more difficult to adjust the shutter speed.
